the fire extinguisher. Always keep the
extinguisher in the fire extinguisher con-
tainer.
●Always carry a fire extinguisher on board.

CAUTION:
Be sure to remove the clip from the shut-
off switch, otherwise the engine will
overheat and engine damage may occur.
1. Shut the engine off by removing the clip
from the engine shut-off switch.
2. Swim to the rear of the watercraft. Pull
the watercraft over with left hand on ride
plate while pushing down on the gun-
wale with your right hand/foot.
NOTE:
If the port side of the capsized watercraft is
tilting upward, first tilt the watercraft so the
port side is down by using your weight to
press down on the rub rail.
CAUTION:
Do not turn the watercraft over counter-
clockwise, otherwise water may leak into
the carburetor and engine and cause
damage.
3. Start the engine, and then head for
shore to inspect the engine for water
damage.
CAUTION:
If the watercraft has been capsized for
5 minutes or more, air may have entered
the oil injection system. Leave the engine
off, or operate only at trolling speed, for
10 minutes after the watercraft has been
turned right-side up. This will allow any
air to bleed off.

Lubrication
WARNING
To reduce the risk of fire or explosion:
Never pour or spray gasoline, or any sub-
stance other than engine fogging oil
through the holes in the carburetor
silencer cover.
CAUTION:
●Be sure to replace the caps securely
after fogging the engine. Otherwise
water could enter the engine and
cause damage.
●Do not attempt to run the engine at full
throttle or for more than 15 seconds
while the watercraft is out of the water,
otherwise the engine may overheat
and/or seize.
1. Open the silencer cap 1 on the silencer
by turning it counterclockwise.
2. Start the engine with the watercraft in a
well-ventilated area.
3. With the engine running at a fast idle,
quickly spray as much fogging oil as pos-
sible through the hole in the silencer
cover. Keep spraying until the engine
stalls (or a maximum of 15 seconds).
4. Install the cap securely.
5. Remove the spark plugs and pour
approximately one tablespoon of engine
oil into each cylinder. Grease the spark
plug threads and install the spark plugs.
6. Crank the engine for 3 seconds.
7. Lubricate all cables such as the throttle,
choke, and steering cables.
8. Lubricate the areas of the watercraft
specified under Lubrication points on
page 4-15.

Adjusting the carburetor
The carburetor is a vital part of the engine
and requires very sophisticated adjustment.
Most adjusting should be left to a Yamaha
dealer who has the professional knowledge
and experience to perform it. However, the
operator may adjust the trolling speed as
part of the usual maintenance routine.
CAUTION:
The carburetor was set at the Yamaha
factory after many tests. If the settings
are disturbed by someone who does not
have the necessary technical knowledge,
poor engine performance and damage
may result.
EJU00577a
Adjusting the trolling speed
1. Put the watercraft in the water.
2. Start the engine and warm it up for 1 or
2 minutes. Using a diagnostic tachome-
ter or, if necessary, the tachometer in the
multifunction meter, adjust the engine
speed to specification.
3. Turn the throttle stop screw 1 clockwise
to increase engine speed if necessary.
Turn it counterclockwise to decrease
engine speed if necessary.
Trolling speed: 1,250–1,350 r/min
